YELLOW SQUASH AND RED PEPPER SAUTE



Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Saute image

This is my favorite way to have yellow squash. I have to fight my husband for it because he loves it, too. I am estimating all the amounts. I usually just toss mine together with whatever amounts of squash and red pepper I have. I love the bright red and yellow colors dancing in the pan! Sometimes I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar at the end and let it caramelize on the squash....not as beautiful a color but quite tasty.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Pepper squash, also known as pattypan squash, is the best choice for this recipe. It has a mild flavor and a tender texture that holds its shape well when cooked.
  • Cut the squash evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the squash into uniform slices or cubes.
  • Cook the squash over medium heat: This will help to prevent the squash from burning or overcooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the squash will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Season the squash to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauté, such as onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Serve the squash immediately: Pepper squash sauté is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pepper squash sauté is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is healthy, delicious, and versatile. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook squash, give this recipe a try!
